Roland’s signature effect.

Roland and its guitar products division BOSS are well known for introducing many influential effects to the music world. But perhaps none is more revered and imitated than the stereo chorus. Debuted in 1975 and evolved and refined over multiple generations, this Roland original continues to captivate with an uncanny ability to bring depth, dimension, and life to any sound source.

Secret sauce.

The lush stereo chorus effect in the JUNO-60 was specially tuned to enhance the synth’s single DCO, fat sub-oscillator, and characterful VCF. Players quickly found it to be an essential component of the JUNO’s unique voice, making it hit well above its weight and compete with more sophisticated—and much more expensive—multi-oscillator polysynths of the day.

Better is a press away.

The straightforward chorus section on the original JUNO-60 provides OFF, I, and II buttons—but OFF never gets much use. The first chorus mode adds a gentle shimmer to the sound, while the second offers a deeper, wider effect. Pressing the I and II buttons together calls up a “secret” third mode for exaggerated movement with a distinctive swirl.

The real deal.

The JUNO-60 Chorus delivers the elegant simplicity of the original effect in a genuine Roland plug-in for your favorite DAW. Each of the three chorus modes is modeled in meticulous detail, complete with variable analog noise for the full retro experience. The vintage JUNO vibe is carried on further with graphics that reflect the synth’s iconic panel and oh-so-cool wood side panels.

* Although Roland has tested numerous configurations, and has determined that on average, a computer system similar to that described above will permit normal operation of the JUNO-60 CHORUS, Roland cannot guarantee that a given computer can be used satisfactorily with the JUNO-60 CHORUS based solely on the fact that it meets the above requirements. This is because there are too many other variables that may influence the processing environment, including differences in motherboard design and the particular combination of other devices involved.
